So i am sorry if i cannot expla= in my problem properly. First of all i am running at the moment FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2 on a DELL Latitu= de C810 Laptop. I have a problem with my sound card it is an ESS Technology Maestro3 pci ca= rd as FreeBSD recogizes also. The thing that makes me worry here is that = when in X-windows i open the Info Center and press on "storage devices" s= ection it gives me this screen with the storage devices which actually ar= e my partitions or cdroms. (Sorry i am no sending a screenshot) so there = is the root " / " paritions among with "/var", "/tmp", "/usr" and "/dev".= Now all of them shows a normal output for "usage" and "Full%" and for "= size" but "/dev" has the following attributes: device: "devfs" (where oth= ers: "/dev/..." are having the path) - Type: " ? " (where others "ufs" or= "cd9660") - Size: "1024B" (where others "..MB" or "...GB" - Free: "0B" -= Full: "100.0%" and finaly the "Usage" bar is red and full! Is this normal? (If you have problems understanding what i am describing in this e-mail ple= ase let me know and i am terribly sorry) Please advice Thank you in advance g that makes me worry here is that when in X-windows i open the Info Center= and press on "storage devices" section it gives me this screen with the = storage devices which actually are my partitions or cdroms.
